PHEOBE was transferred from a vet tech friend who needed help finding homes for the dogs she has saved from euthanasia in Texas. She is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heart-worm and tick-disease tested; Negative and micro-chipped. She is around a year old. She has had her front leg amputated and so is a TRI-POD!
Pehobe is a sweet girl who is a little sad as she left her best friend (A pit-mix) back in Texas as the rescue didn't have the money or space to take her also. We are hoping that the lucky family who falls in love and adopts Pheobe would at least consider adopting her best friend, who we will have transported up to Texas. The important thing is to find Phoebe her own forever home though, so it is not a requirement.
Pheobe is a sweet, quiet, gentle girl, she gets along great with all other dogs and the puppies just love crawling and jumping on her, or cuddling up when it is time to rest. She lives in the communal room in the kennel building with some other dogs and pups and does great, she uses the dog door to go in and out as she pleases and has not had any accidents inside. I would think she is most likely house-trained, but might need to learn how to let you know she needs to go outside.
She rides great in the car and loves to go on adventures, having lost a leg does not stop this girl and the more activity and exploring the sights, sounds and smells the world has to offer the happier she is. she would love to go for day trips to the beach, lake or on short hikes. She loves to lie outside soaking up the suns rays and when inside snuggle with the pups on the elevated dog bed. I am sure if she was in the house she would be wanting to snuggle up to the humans sharing the love this precious girl has to give.
We recommend all families work on basic and advanced training with their new best friends. By working together boundaries and expectations can be set and both Pheobe and her family can learn each others body language and personalities which in turn will form a stronger bond and mutual understanding.
PHEOBE is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $500.
This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

PHEOBE is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx 8 miles) and approx 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are options to arrange transport, we will work with you to make it happen.
